Viva (understanding): [1 Marks]

In the end of the lab I have learned how to measure 10 oscillations for a spring
and how
1 | Ptoa find
g e the time period, additionally we learned how to find the spring constant using a specific formula
we had to make a manual graph and find it's slope and the k using the slope
